Torchageddon Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Amazing day unfolding here, 24C humidex of 28 for a high. Chance of a t-storm. I didn't see any fog as forecast early this morning - just blue skies instead of mostly cloudy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 0.19" of rain moved through today. Sun has broken though, and now temps up a little into the low-mid 50's from upper 40's early this afternoon. Nickels n dimes on the rains, but it keeps the needle slowly heading upward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Gorgeous sunny day should top out in the upper 50's. Heading out to wander the woods. Sure sign of Spring, the daffodils. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Might as well be in some kind of blocking pattern at this rate. Very few, if any, dry days to come by over the next couple of weeks. May 2003 all over again. May 2003 had a record 21 days with measurable rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Very nice day with temps peaking in the low-mid 60's. Dandelions started opening up today. Windy off the Lake tomorrow with shwrs, stms on tap later in the day/overnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 A tad cool this morning at 34 but will end up another beautiful day with a high in the mid-60's. Northern lights were visible for a second night in a row last night although not as vivid as Saturday night. Another shot at rain starting late tomorrow.

Brian D Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Prelim data in for April, and we have another warmer month in the books this year. April's sure have struggled to be on the warmer side in recent years for the sub as whole. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Looking forward to some late night/early morning storms. Probably will be sub-severe when they get here, but should be a nice soaking. Perfect weather lately to plant some patchwork grass seed for the lawn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a glorious spring for much of the subforum, on the heels of one of the mildest winters of record. Only a couple analogs - 2012 was a bit warmer region wide, 2010 was similar, 1878 looks like a close historical match.

Brian D Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Mid 40's, and raining this morning. Line of rain moved in from the S, training in from the SE. Looks like a wet one through tonight. Update: rain moved N, and looks like stms popping to my S. Should see more action later today. Would be nice to have some thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 0.88" here this morning. Supercell heading this way near the QC. Luckily low level shear and surface moisture are lacking. EDIT: It's quickly crapping the bed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It always amazes me the streaks we go on as far as precipitation or lack thereof. It seems like its rained almost every other day the past month, while other years we can go 20+ days without rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malacka11 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Some dog walk pics of a line of storms that rolled through a bit before sunset. Was zooted; walked up a local preserve sled hill and didn't realize how close the storms were getting until the first rain drops started falling out ahead. Just as I started to walk back down the hill, the cell headed straight for me started producing really consistent branching CC lightning; checked radarscope to find a new severe t-storm warning on said cell. Only then did it register that I now needed to run two miles back through the muddy ass forest to my neighborhood with the accompaniment of lightning overhead and rapidly worsening rain. I had barely wrapped my head around the warning when I started hearing tornado sirens. At that point, ofc, the ol' adrenal glands managed to shake off the thc with ease and whoo boy, I don't think my ass has hauled like that since college track. I did slip in the mud one like a fool but other than a muddy pair of pants, I was fine. Sirens lasted for about five minutes; family says they were on in Plainfield, too. The storm never received an official tornado warning, to my knowledge. I don't think I've ever seen the sky be that rich in color. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Numerous areas are experiencing a few different heat bursts in a corridor from E. Nebraska/Omaha area into N. Illinois tonight, as decaying clusters of showers/t'storms work through. This beneath a nice plume of solid lapse rates and a solid inversion with a deep layer of warmer/drier air just off the deck. MLE out near Omaha is probably the best example I can find, from from 60/46 to 70/33. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Rain was a bust here with up to 3/4's forecast but ended up with less than a tenth. Cooler today in the low-50's with a northerly wind. Frost potential the next couple nights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
